Climate Models

    There are many different climate models and simulations that are made as future predictions to see how our everyday global choices will affect the future climate.  Different parameters are used and varied throughout trials to see how changes will play out through the years. Chapter 9 of Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis is all about projections of future climate change.  Throughout the chapter there is a review of past reports and how well they predicted the future as well as climate forcing and climate responses.  Later on there are a multitude of projections of climate change that were made with various models and variables.  Finally there is a summary of what the predictions for the future are as well as their appendix and references.
